Lyrics
It had to be you, it had to be you.
Expresses inevitability and a sense of destiny in choosing a specific person, "you."
I wandered around and finally found the somebody who
Describes the search for someone special and the joy of finally finding that person.
Could make me be true, could make me feel blue,
Highlights the transformative power of the chosen person, influencing the speaker to be genuine and feel emotions.
And even be glad just to be sad thinkin' of you.
Conveys a complex mix of emotions, from sadness to happiness, all connected to thoughts of the chosen person.
Some others I've seen might never be mean
Contrasts the chosen person with others who may lack certain qualities, emphasizing uniqueness.
Might never be cross or try to be boss,
Suggests that others may not be as suitable due to their potential negativity or domineering nature.
But they wouldn't do.
Reiterates that the others wouldn't suffice or meet the standards set by the chosen person.
For nobody else gave me a thrill.
Expresses the thrill and excitement that the chosen person brings, making them incomparable to others.

And even be glad just to be sad thinkin' of you.

Some others I've seen might never be mean
